It is understood that the compromise is practically reached at yesterday evening's session of the council of the great powers. General Botha was heard at today's conference in reference to the disposition of the former German possessions [[?]] Africa. Lloyd George Arranged It [[ichi]] Nichi Service NEW YORK, Jan. 19.--The Paris correspondent of the New York Times wires that as the result of an interview between General Smuts, representing the British Dominions, and Colonel House, representing the United States, all the questions comprised in the demands brought forward by Japan, Australia and New Zealand have arrived at a satisfactory solution. In other words, the [[ace]] conference will recognize the secret agreement concluded between Japan and Great Britain regarding the disposal of the German colonies. Much of the successful settlement of this knotty problem is due to the efforts of Mr. Lloyd George, British Premier, who has during the last few days been persuading the representatives of the British Dominions to make concessions so that they might recognize the Anglo-Japanese secret agreement. Normally Under League The outcome of this understanding will be that the control of the German colonies will be nominally plaed under the supervision of the League of Nations and their administration will be [[?]] to the countries to be designated [[?]] the League. The successful solution [[?]] this problem will materially contribute towards the consummation of a League of Nations and so the value of [[ ?]] success cannot be overestimated.

Mr. Otanti is regarded as the most gifted man available to take up the mission. He is not only a man of religion, but a statesman, and, at the same time, a great scholar. Besides, he is well acquainted with things Western, as he spent many years in London as a student. The idea of sending the former Lord Abbot to Europe has been proposed at the general conference of the Honganji, and , if the proposal passes, the officials of the sect will proceed at once to Shanghai, where Mr. Otani if living, to notify him of the decision. It is expected that professor Takakusu of the Tokyo Imperial University, who is regarded as an authority on Hindoo philosophy, will go in company with the ex-Lord Abbot.

If an agreement is reached, an armistice concluded, peace re-established, and an election for a Constituent Assembly called to set up a government satisfactory to all parties, the Bolsheviks who are predominant in Russia will obtain a majority of the votes, and thus Bolshevism will come into power again. If on the other hand the conference comes to no understanding, we shall have to continue the war against Bolshevism. "Negotiating with the Bolsheviks is admitting them as a political party, but we cannot view them as a political party, but we cannot view them as such. "The Allies are talking of bringing the Kaiser to judgment why not bring Bolshevik leaders to account? I cannot understand what led the conference to reach this decision. "I believe that ultimately the Allies will have to intervene in Russia." Candidates Paid as High ¥15,000 for Votes - 41 Are Arrested In the Mito Chiho Saibansho yesterday the finding of the Preliminary Court was published with regard to a criminal case in which a large number of prominent people in Ibaraki prefecture have been under examination on charge of corruption.

[[image]] SKILLFULLY DARING AVIATRIX THRILLED WATCHING THOUSANDS Miss Ruth Law Performs over the Heads of 50,000 Admiring Spectatorsat Susaki Miss Ruth Law, America's foremost woman aviator, thrilled 50,000 Japanese, and a sprinkling of foreign residents who braved the mud to Susaki Field yester- day afternoon, when she gave her first exhibition performance of flying in Japan. The day was cold and the general weather conditions bad for flying, but Miss Law's exhibition easily places her at the top of the list of Americans who have flown their plans in exhibition flights in the Far East. For master of her machine, in maneuvering it through the difficult stunts, looping the loop, spiraling, diving and the others, she exhibited the daring, nerve and ability that has made her name famous. After seeing Ruth Law in the air, one can easily believe that it is a joy to fly. Japanese have never seen such handling of an airplane as yesterday when the little American woman, propped out in front of the wings of her small Curtiss machine, rushed it into the air and whipped back and forth close over the crowds, banking so steeply on the turns that the wings of the machine were often at right angles to the ground. There is nothing of a far-away aspect to an exhibition flight by Ruth Law. When she went into the air she turned at the endof a short straightway, and with hands free from the controls, came back close over the heads of the crowds. Then she would swoop down, so close to the ground that it seemed she would cut a swath through the people. A quick turn, and she was up in the higher altitudes. After the stunts near the ground Miss Law climbed to an elevation of three or four thousand feet and started down via the loop the loop route. In one of these descents she negotiated half a dozen loops. Returning to the heights again she would descend by spirals or by a sheer drop of a thousand feet, the plane coming out of the fall in a graceful curve that sent it off on a parallel to the earth. Miss Law made two flights yesterday, one at 2 o'clock, and the other an hour later. During the interval she received congratulations and presents from admiring Japanese. Last night she left for Osaka where today she will deliver an address on aviation. She returns to Tokyo this week, but plans no more flights in Tokyo, before going on in her tour of the Orient.
